NADEEM, AN MQM SYMPATHIZER MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD BY THE HAQIQI TERRORISTS

ILLEGAL RAIDS AND UNLAWFUL ARREST OF MQM WORKERS

 Karachi, May 26, 1998

Nadeem, age: 26 years, son of Wali Jaan, resident of House No. 1513, Area 36-C, Korangi, Karachi, a sympathizer of MQM Unit 78, Sector Korangi.

On 25 May 1998, Nadeem was having breakfast at his video shop in Area 36-C, Korangi, Karachi, when some Haqiqi Terrorists on motorcycles attacked his shop and opened heavy indiscriminate fire upon him. Nadeem received several bullet shots and died on the spot.

In two other separate incidents, Police have unlawfully arrested two MQM workers during raids.

Details of these arrests are:

1- Nadeem, age: 26 years, son of Yaqub, resident of M-One, Raza Square, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, a worker of MQM Unit 66-B, Sector Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Karachi, was arrested by the Police from a hockey ground. On 25 May 1998, at around 4 p.m., the personnel of CIA Police (in Mobile 141) raided the Sharah-e-Faisal Hockey Ground and arrested Nadeem while he was playing hockey. The personnel of law enforcement agencies did not give any reason for this raid and arrest.

2- Kashif, age: 24 years, son of Qasim Ali, resident of 5/563, Liaquatabad, Sindhi Hotel, Karachi, a sympathizer of MQM Unit 162, Sector Liaquatabad, Karachi, was arrested by the personnel of law enforcement agencies. On 25 May 1998, at around 2.30 p.m., the personnel of law enforcement agencies in plain clothes raided the house of Kashif and arrested him. Reasons for his arrest were not given.

Since the General Elections of February 1997, the Intelligence Agencies and their "agents of persecution", the Haqiqi terrorists have murdered more than 140 MQM workers and supporters.

Illegal raids and arrests of MQM workers, supporters and their family members have become a daily routine. During these raids the personnel of law enforcement agencies break into the houses of MQM workers and supporters, ransack the household items, looted the valuables, misbehaved with the family members and in the absence of the MQM workers and supporters arrested their family members. Heavy bribes are then extorted for the release of these innocent victims.
